		</div><p>Two Palestinians carrying knives ran towards an Israeli checkpoint in the West Bank, drawing fire from troops who killed one and critically wounded the other, according to police and a Palestinian medic.</p>
<p>In a separate incident, a Palestinian seriously wounded a man in a stabbing attack at a railway station in Jerusalem before he was shot and wounded by Israeli forces, police said.</p>
<p>Israeli media said the man hurt in the stabbing was a US tourist, but police could not immediately confirm the report.</p>
<p>The incidents were the latest in series of Palestinian attacks that began in mid-September and were accompanied by widespread unrest, including clashes between Palestinian stone-throwers and Israeli troops.</p>
<p>Eleven Israelis have been killed in attacks and 64 Palestinians by Israeli fire in the past six weeks. Thirty-nine of the Palestinians were said by Israel to have been involved in attacks or attempted attacks.</p>
<p>Israel has blamed the attacks on what it says is anti-Israel incitement by Palestinian political and religious leaders. Palestinians say the violence is driven by the hopelessness many people feel after nearly half a century of Israeli military rule, with no end in sight.</p>
<p>Israeli forces also imposed new restrictions on Palestinians in the Israeli-controlled centre of Hebron, the largest Palestinian city in the West Bank, residents said.</p>
<p>The military barred Palestinians between the ages of 15 and 25 from entering a major Hebron shrine that is revered by Muslims and Jews, said senior Muslim cleric Munther Abu Felat. He said the age restrictions were enforced only partially.</p>
<p>In recent days, Hebron has become a flashpoint of Israeli-Palestinian violence, with near-daily deadly confrontations at Israeli checkpoints that guard enclaves of ultra-nationalist Jewish settlers in the centre of the city. In these incidents, Palestinians have been shot dead after the military said they stabbed or tried to stab soldiers.</p>
<p>Hebron has been divided since the late 1990s, as part of what was meant to be an interim agreement ahead of a final peace deal that never materialised. Israel controls the city centre, where 850 Jewish settlers live, while the remaining areas of the city are under Palestinian self-rule.</p>
<p>The most restricted area, near settler enclaves, is home to about 10,000 Palestinians, said Palestinian community organiser Issa Amro.</p>
<p>He said Palestinians were informed by troops at checkpoints on Friday that Palestinian non-residents would not be able to enter these areas.</p>
<p>The Israeli military said that in light of recent stabbing attacks in the area, “several precautionary measures were taken to contain potential attacks in the future and maintain the well-being and safety of Israelis”.</p>
<p>The Jerusalem stabbing took place at a station of the city’s light railway – a frequent target of assailants in recent weeks. Police spokeswoman Luba Samri said a Palestinian man stabbed a man waiting at the station, seriously injuring him.</p>
<p>As he tried to stab another person, police and transport security guards opened fire, seriously wounding him and hitting an Israeli civilian in the leg, she said.</p>
<p>Earlier in the West Bank, two Palestinians drove up to a checkpoint on a motorcycle, dismounted and then charged an officer from the paramilitary border police, Ms Samri said.</p>
<p>Another officer opened fire on the pair, killing one attacker and injuring the other.</p>
<p>Palestinian medics identified the Palestinian killed by troops as 18-year-old Mahmoud Sabaaneh from a town in the northern West Bank. They said the wounded man was in critical condition.</p>
